On Tuesday I received a message asking if I could knit a pair of leg warmers. Sure. By Saturday. Mmm, not so sure. That wasn't long to spin wool, wash it, dye it and dry it before I could begin knitting. Plan B required. Remember the orange/blue yarn I dyed last week for the market? I rewound the balls into skeins and then overdyed them with red dye.

It worked fine. I didn't think there was enough for leg warmers, so I dyed a couple of half skeins of pink as well. The picture I was sent showed striped leg warmers, so that was fine. Once the wool was dry, I started knitting in earnest, in between other tasks that life requires. I finished at 5pm yesterday.

They've just been collected. so that's mission accomplished. It was difficult to get the colour to look correct in photos. The top picture is more representative than the bottom one.
